Problem
Water leaks in residential properties cause significant damage, leading to billions of dollars in insurance claims annually. Many of these leaks are small and go undetected for extended periods, resulting in escalating damage and increased costs for both homeowners and insurers. Traditional methods of leak detection are often reactive and fail to identify hidden leaks before they cause substantial harm.
Solution
Ondo provides LeakBot, an end-to-end IoT system designed to proactively detect and prevent water damage in homes. The LeakBot device uses patented technology to monitor the home's water system and identify subtle anomalies indicative of leaks, including micro-leaks often missed by conventional methods. When a leak is detected, LeakBot sends an alert to the homeowner and the insurer, enabling rapid response and minimizing potential damage. The system offers a proven commercial model for insurers, reducing water damage claims costs and promoting sustainable risk reduction.

The primary target audience includes home insurance companies seeking to reduce water damage claims, as well as homeowners interested in preventing costly repairs and lowering insurance premiums.
